A character like no other, wit, charisma, charm and so many other wonderful qualities. A family man, a brilliant sportsman, a fantastic employer, a friend to so many and an integral part of the community. A hugely popular publican. A legend. 

We thank you all for your many comments, messages, phone calls and condolences. We appreciate all of your support at this extremely difficult time. 

We will continue Ger’s legacy and the wonderful business we have built. 

Rest in peace Clanner
